Josep Suñol Collection Sculpture/Object
14.02.2012 - 01.09.2012
The exhibition Sculpture/Object showcases 36 pieces from the holdings of the Josep Suñol Collection –some of which have never before been shown to the public – by 30 national and international artists, ranging from the early avant-garde up to the most daring experiments of the 1990s.
The aim is, on the one hand, to demonstrate the evolution of 20th century sculpture as it is represented in the collection and, on the other, to highlight the relationship between sculpture and object, two opposite yet synonymous concepts, as is discussed in the exhibition catalog.
Although the exhibition is based on a chronological development in sculpture, the different spaces are not arranged solely on the basis of a temporal logic. Instead, importance is given to the complicities that can be seen among the different pieces, often regardless of the years that separate one from another.
In the same way, there is value attached to the criteria that went into the formation of the collection as it was built up based on a profound understanding of the contemporary history of art, but also according to the collector’s intuition.
